[SOLVED] Display Side Image IF

[PandoraSoul]

I am working on my first VN/sim and I'm pretty new to Ren'py and coding in general. I've searched various forums to try and find this answer, so I apologize if I overlooked it or didn't understand the solution I passed up was the right answer.

I'm trying to create a VN/sim with a "stress" stat, but don't want to have a stat bar. Instead, I'm wanting to have a character portrait (side image) that changes based on the percentage of the stress stat. I.E. when stress reaches 10% the character portrait changes. When it hits 20% it changes again. Ect. How would I code that in? I don't want to manually change it each time as I want random events to effect the stress stat, which automatically reflects on the character's side image.

Any help or pointers in the right direction would be very much appreciated!

You'll want a ConditionSwitch

Thank you for your response. Could you be a little more specific with how I could make that work? I didn't find any examples or tutorials when I was looking into Conditionswitches that were doing what I need to do. The closest thing I could find did pertain to changing side images, but it had to be triggered manually.

Well, I've never done it before, but I looked at the page I linked to, and the page on side images and made this tester, that works:

Code: Select all

define b = Character('Bill', color="#c8ffc8", image='bill')

default stress = 0

image side bill = ConditionSwitch(
    "stress == 9", "face5.png",
    "stress == 7", "face4.png",
    "stress == 5", "face3.png",
    "stress == 3", "face2.png",
    "True", "face1.png")
        
# The game starts here.

label start:
    
   b "Hello."
   $ stress=3
   b "Hello face 2"
   $ stress= 5
   b "Hello face 3"
   $ stress=7
   b "Hello face 4"
   $ stress=9
   b "Hello face 5"
 
return

Thank you! I guess I just didn't have a strong enough understanding of how the ConditionSwitch worked to realize that was my answer. I appreciate you taking the extra time to show me how to work it!
